Hybrid never pulls ahead of Gas on running cost within 8 years — it only wins on resale

Hybrid is cheaper than Electric from day one

Crossovers are measured on running cost, before the resale credit at year 8.

Nominal dollars, not discounted. Vehicles are assumed to start at 0 mi. Interval costs are charged in full each time they come due, which is why lines step. Defaults are reasonable starting points, not market data — replace them with quotes you trust.
